LIVING.
The Kind OF Moral Courage Which II
Needed All Over the Country.

Needed All Over the County.
The oft-repeated injunction ''to live
within your Means presupposcs that
you know what your mean are. But
If you belong to one of the many diff
ferent classes, You do not know this.
The income of the farmer, the mer-
chant. the mechanic is not only an I'M
known, but a very uncertain quantity.
In fact very few vacations have an alb
solutely sure amount of emolument
attached to them. But while the
precise figure of the income
may not be known, q pretty
correct general estimate may be
made, and by this the expenditure
should be regulated. One may know
for instance that the profits of one
horse farm will not be more than 4 few
hundreds, and that thousands can not
be realized in a single year from a few
hundreds invested in trade. Foolish
extravaganza consists in adopting 4
style Ut living mure costly than this
general estimate warrants. just now
we may say that this mistake is very
common here in our Southland. Our
people find it difficult to adjust their
ideas to the very small figures that
represents their income, and find it
altogether as difficult to forcgo the lux
uries and conveniences which require
larger means than they a command.
As a result the amount of their in
debtedness grows larger year by year..
This latter fact they appreciate well
enough. The trouble is that they
either can not or will not preceive that
the only way ont of the difficulty is in
a less expensive style Of living.
Simply cutting off mi or two articles
will not suffice. A complete lowering
of the whole scale is what is required.
To effect Shis, demands an amount Of
moral courage which every person
does not possess. 1t is not pleasant to
confess to ones circle the more plain
ness in all the details OF living is abso-
lutely ncceSsary-that the dress must
be cheaper, the equipagel less stylish, the
hospitality less liberal. But to all
such small economies. IL people
must stoop if they would hope to re-
lieve themselves from the thraldom of
debt. Most of the fortunes that were
once enjoyed in this section We're built
up by living within very narrow in
comes. Fifty years ago, wages were
smaller than nov, and the purchas-
ing powers Of money no greater.
Money advances, if made at all, were
made at fearful rates Of interest. But
despite these adverse circumstances.
